Upcoming Events

April 18: SOS: Saving Our Seas - THIS EVENT IS FULL

There has been an oil spill in the ocean, and it’s up to you to save the day for birds, fish, and other marine wildlife! Examine what happens when oil contacts materials such as water, feathers, and fur, then discover which materials and solvents you can use to clean up the spill. Once you have found the solution to pollution, celebrate with a scoop of liquid nitrogen sorbet and a live science show.

May 16: Wreck It!

Boom! Crash! If you love to build it then break it, this evening of construction is for you! Investigate the physics behind pendulums and design your own structure that can withstand the force of a wrecking ball. Collaborate with your construction crew to create a catapult, then get ready to rock out at a smashing private laser show. After your hard work you will take a break with a delicious liquid nitrogen treat.

June 13: Mission to Mars

Get ready to blast off on an expedition to the red planet! Investigate the craters on Mars and discover what’s beneath the surface.

Once you reach your destination enjoy a bowl of liquid nitrogen ice cream that’s out of this world!
